house

End-of-terrace two-bay two-storey house, c.1825, originally semi-detached with single-bay single-storey gabled projecting porch to left ground floor, and single-bay single-storey return to west. One of a pair. Pitched (shared) slate roof (gabled to porch; pitched to return) with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, rendered coping to party wall, rendered bargeboards to gable to porch, and replacement plastic rainwater goods, c.1975, on rendered eaves. Painted roughcast walls over random rubble stone construction with iron S-profile tie bars to first floor, and exposed random rubble stone construction to return having dressed limestone quoins to corners. Square-headed window openings with painted cut-stone shallow sills, concealed red brick voussoirs, six-over-six (ground floor) and six-over-three (first floor) timber sash windows having fixed-pane timber window to porch. Square-headed door opening with step, and timber boarded door. Square-headed door opening to return with red brick voussoirs, and timber boarded door having overlight. Road fronted with verge to front.

Originally built as one of a pair (second in pair not included in survey) a small-scale house of modest architectural aspirations forms an important element of the urban vernacular heritage of Owning. Retaining the original composition attributes together with most of the early fabric the house makes a valuable contribution to the historic character of the streetscape.
